Does this wick require waxing? I can not get it to work in my beeswax votive candles.

It will help. Without waxing the string just burns. If you didnt wax you still can just use a lighter to melt some of the surface.

I have done both, waxed and unwaxed. For larger candled either is fine. For votives, waxing is definitely the way to go. It extends burning time for the wick and allows the votive to melt evenly. I use both soy and beeswax and I find the same is true for both.

No this one comes with the mouth area shaped so you do not need beeswax to play it. Look on Youtube to see how to shape your mouth to breathe into it. It took my husband a few tries but when he got the hang of it, it sounded very nice. Low and mellow and it did help to calm him and with his Bell's Palsy. It is almost completely gone, except a tick around his mouth when he smiles for a long time. He only played occasionally.

I just put the wax directly in the machine. I've read that others use a container, but didn't use/need one.

I have made a candel in a glass container that is 2 3/4" in diameter and when the candel burnes there is a 1/4" of wax left on the edge. So I guess if you want the wax to fully burn down you will have to use a small container. Oh an I used bees wax. This is just my experience I do not know the 'correct' answere. and this is the first time I made a candle. Hope this helps.

I put mine in after the wax was melted so it was not sitting on the heating element. Not sure it matters but that is what I did with mine.

We used this for our Heath & Wellness fair and I plugged it in with brand new 'block' wax at 9am for our 11am fair. At 11:00am the wax was only partially melted. It wasn't completely melted until about 1:00pm. When reheating and refilling I've switched to wax 'beads' as they seem to clump less and take less time to melt completely.

No, the wicks are completely different. The wick in the hand warmer is more like a ball of cotton that acts like a glowing ember. There's really no open flame you could use to light a candle.

I reread the instructions 2-3 times, it says remove plastic rack before heating wax. then when wax is melted, prior to putting in your hand, you put in the plastic rack so you don't burn your hand with the burner that heats the rack.

If your wax be warm enough , it shall be removed w the Wax paper easily and for small sport that is left alone you put oil.Does nt have to be fancy type, yr normal olive oil even canola oil shall work and then wash yrself w hot water ( no soap till 24 hr after )

yes! just soak the cord under the wick holder well and let it soak up through the wick holder...it takes awhile as the ceramic holder is very tight on the wick (and also makes it hard to pull more wick up as it burns down and trim.) Once it absorbs the liquid it burns great. Do remember not to burn citronella indoors.

I didn't use it on a candle wax holder but I did on a spill I had on d floor and it didn't work even 1 %. So in my opinion this product doesn't work at cleaning wax at all.

I don'treally know as I haven't made candles. The things I have read though kind of discourage essential oil for candles.

You initially lit the wick when it was too close to the wax.... Next time don't put as much wax.... Make sure the wick is about 1/2 inch I believe above the wax when you light it.

Yes it sounds like the wax is too warm. Try turning it on high for 30 min then down to low for 15 min and then turn it off while you're waxing. This allows the melted wax to cool slightly and thus slightly solidify. Also try spinning the wooden applicator stick to prevent dripping.

I see no reason why they would not! The only problem is keeping the wick centered. I am using sticky tacks to keep the wicks attached to the bottom of the glass. Sometimes the wick will 'un-stick' when pouring the wax into the glass. Also keep the wicks in a cool dry place! They seem to absorb moisture.

I broke up the wax and put it in the container and plugged it in on high. I had no instructions either that I can recall. I was perplexed by the oval plastic piece and someone told me it goes on the bottom under the wax. I didn't use the gloves at all. Once melted the first time it seems to melt much quicker. I suppose I will drop the plastic in when I melt it again.
